About a year ago, I had the same situation with my school. A couple SE's
and some 512Ks. I was able to put the latest system versions on the SE's,
i think we were using 5.0, although maybe it was 6.0... it escapes me now,
and on the 512Ks, I used the recommended system software, which should be
in an SE manual, but then I used the current printer drivers, and things
worked out fairly well.

In fact, i am going to be trying that again in a few weeks... I will be trying
to hook up 3 SE's and about 6 512KE's (with the double sided drives)....
i'm crossing my fingers that the 512ke's will accept the current laserwriter
drivers. Let me know how you do.
